Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi
I have awk script that is reading data from file and printing the result on the monitor....I need to read more than one file .....one by one... and store the result in output file...

please i need some one to help me...it is urgent

you can try something like this

Code:

 
for i in *
do
awk '{script here}' $i > $i.output
done

might be you could not understand me so,
in more explanation :
the awk script is located in this directory: /home/test/awk_file.awk
also the data files are located in the same directory: /home/test/file1.awk and the rest of files (file2.awk...file3.awk.....fileN.awk)
and my task is to read the files file1,file2,.....fileN by the awk script which is awk_file.awk and store results that created by runing awk script in output file ( such as output_file.awk)

That was just a suggest about how you could achive it and not the exact solution for your requirement.

Code:

cd /home/test/

Code:

 
for i in file*.awk
do
awk -f awk_file.awk $i > output_${i}
done

Please read awk man page for -f usage.

Many Thanks
